Ringtone will not sync to iphone...

I bought the song from the itunes store myself and made the ringtone, but whenever I try to sync it to my phone it says that I am not authorized to use it...?

how did you make it? did you make AAC version of 30 seconds etc. etc.?
or did you go through garageband? from the looks of it, the AAC version because you're on windows vista...
the AAC approach does not work for store bought music, but the garageband approach does. if you have access to garageband, a google search can help you with the specifics.

  • Custom Ringtones Will Not Sync to iPhone 4s with Latest iOS

    I have been using a custome ringtone on my iPhone 4s for about a year and a half now without an issue.  Today, I went to add another and when I went to sync it to the phone, It showed up in iTunes (under the device) grayed out, with a dotted circle next to it and it does not show up in the phone.  Just to try something, I deleted my original ringtone and the new one from iTunes, then imported them both back into the library.  I tried to sync again and neither show up in iTunes, under the device nor the phone.
    What can I do to fix this?

    More information...
    In order for me to get this to do anything at all, I had to drag the file from the Tones folder in the Library to the phone.  I just did this with both of my ringtones and my original is now back on the phone, but the new one is still grayed out in iTunes in the Tones folder under the device with the dotted circle next to it.
    HELP!!!

  • Ringtones will not sync after Iphone 4 to 5 upgrade

    I just upgraded my Iphone 4 to a 5. Everything migrated fine except the ringtones. If I look in my Itunes in myTones folder the tones listed but they are not in the folder  but I have the tones in my Itunes library. Does this have to do with the file extension as I notice If I go to drag one of the tones from the music library to the tones folder in ITunes it does not allow me to .
    Any help here?

    Ann154, true!
    To the OP, I gave you your two options (not including paying full price) in my first post.  I'm sure that there are other creative options (ask for someone to buy it for you, wait and buy it on ebay), but these are too far out of the box to be realistic in the near future.

  • I have the new iPhone 4s.  I'm using cloud.  I try to sync my playlists to my phone an it either erases them completely or keeps saying it cannot move all music files over?  Please help.  Also my purchased ringtones will not sync up as well.

    iPod touches or any iDevices from Apple sync only to one computer. If you sync to a different computer, all your music will be replace with the music from the new computer's iTunes. If the music were purchased from iTunes, you can re-download them again otherwise the music on iPod touch will be deleted. Do you have iTunes backup? 

  • When I plug in my iPhone to my iMac my computer flashes a box that says my USB device is drawing too much power from my computer and claims one or more of my devices have been disabled.  Then it will not sync my iPhone.  Any solution ideas?

    Try unplugging any other USB devices. If you are using a hub, don't, connect the phone directly to a computer USB port.
    None of these are necessarily things you should do, but might help. For instance, if you plug the phone to an already busy hub, the phone might be "the straw that broke the camel's back" and lock out the hub.

  • Avoid installing iTunes 11 if you are a Windows user. Calendars, etc will not sync with iPhone or iPad. Anyone have a fix?

    After installing iTunes 11.0, Outlook Calendars, etc will not sync with iPhone or iPad. Anyone have a fix?

    I'm also seeing weird sync issues since upgrading to iOS 7.  The sync issues started when I first upgraded to iOS 7 so I suspect that iOS 7 is to blame and the other system differences aren't an issue (i.e. I also upgraded to Windows 8.1 but it never worked properly when I was on Windows 8).  For me, the only way to "sync" all the smart playlists and music is to restore from backup and then the first sync seems to work.  However, I haven't tried that recently (I tried it a month back or so and it worked then) because it is ridiculous to have to restore your phone just to sync things!  Apple needs to fix the iOS 7 quality issues.

  • Some new purchased songs will not sync to IPhone.  Any ideas on resolving this?

    Some newly purchased songs will not sync to Iphone.  Any ideas to resolve this issue?

    Similar issue:
    I purchased several complete albums from the iTunes store on my laptop. Everything syncs fine with my iPhone except for two tracks from two seperate albums. I get the same error for both tracks: "iTunes could not copy ..... to the iPhone because the file could not be converted."
    From what I can tell both tracks are the same format as the other tracks on those albums - m4a (purchased AAC audio file) and wouldn't need converting (except that I have "convert higher bit rate songs to 128 kbps AAC" checked... but the other tracks convert just fine). Files play just fine on the laptop.
    I checked that everything was purchased with the same user accounts. Not sure what to try next... any ideas?
    In case it of any use here are the tracks:
    Being Single Again (track 2 from Louis C.K.'s album Hilarious)
    Letters to Magazines (track 15 from Paul F. Tompkins' album Impersonal)
    Maybe the tracks are just so funny that the iPhone is cracking up too much to transfer them over.

  • HT204150 I just added my iphone to icloud only a few of my contact Numbers will work and none of my ringtones will  not sync back to the phone

    I have an older iphone and I just put all my music and contacts on icloud. Only a few of my contact numbers will work and my ring tones will not sync back to the phone. any ideas?

    Your profile says you have a 3G, with iOS 6.0.1?
    Are you sure about that?

  • Ringtone will not sync

    I bought and created a ringtone in itunes. I have authorized my powerbook to play the ringtone, and if I click to play it in iTunes it plays as it should. It shows in the list of ringtones and I have selected all ringtones to be synced to my iPhone. However, when I sync, the ringtone does not sync. I get no error message or other information. I have tried it with a second ringtone I created and neither one will sync.

  • Garage Band Ringtones will not sync

    I have created two ringtones with Garage Band. I used the share menu to send them to iTunes. They show up in iTunes and play OK. They will not sync to my iPhone 5 however. Sync ringtones is checked in iTunes for the phone. Looking at "on this phone" under Tones, both are there but have the "to be downloaded" dashed circle on the left hand side. I have tried syncing with "All ringtones" and "Selected ringtones". Any suggestions would be appreciated.

  • Videos will not sync to iPhone from iTunes

    Movies (Videos) will not sync to an iPhone 4S from iTunes Mac. They can be downloaded and played from iCloud. They sync to other iOS devices, just not this one.
    Music does sync as do other media. When I try Movies (Video) I spend long minutes watching "Waiting for changes to be applied". I suspect it's timing out.
    I don't see anything in Console. It doesn't matter whether Movie is DRMd or home.
    I've restared phone and desktop. I wiped the phone and restored from Backup. I suspect if I wiped phone and treated at as NEW phone it would work, but I'd lose game settings, some data, etc. I haven't tried 'manual' management of music and video, I really dislike that. I did try dragging a movie to the iPhone manually, that behaved like sync.
    I've used PhoneView, an OS X utility for browing phone to look for stuck or unexpect media. There are no Voice Memos and no Voicemail messages.
    In iTunes, if I expand the Devices tree for the phone, and inspect Movies, I see the movies that have downloaded via iCloud. Movies that are supposed to sync from iTunes show with a grayed out font and dotted viewing status circle.
    Any ideas? Any references to a technical description of the iTunes sync process?

    A colleague on App.net (@gaelicwizard) came up with the fix for being unable to sync video to the iPhone. It suggests the bug is on the iPhone, and since a wipe/restore didn't fix it the bug is transmitted with the backup.
    The fix was to setup iTunes on another account on the same machine, then sync the iPhone to THAT account. This wipes out all media and photos. When I did that I could sync a video to the iPhone.
    I then synced the iPhone BACK to the original iTunes account -- this wiped all media again. This time though I could sync video from the original iTunes. I restored all of the media and was good to go again.
    I still wonder if this bug is related to the fix for the 7.0 CloudAssets bug that was fixed in 7.1. There was also something odd about the movie 'Frozen' where the Cloud version and local iTunes version seemed somehow different...

  • Calendar will not sync from iphone to ical since 10.5.2 update

    My iphone has worked perfectly since I bought it last summer & I have been raving about it!
    I updated to 10.5.2 and now I am having a syncing problem.
    If I put an appointment in the iphone it will not sync to ical, but it does sync from ical to the iphone.
    This is all new since 10.5.2.
    Are there some simple steps to follow to resolve this issue?

    1. got the back up done. After I answer your couple of quesitons, i will do the reset.
    2. I am responding to you using my .mac account, which, as you know, is IMAP.
    3. In addition, I do have a POP ( Yahoo) account that I use a great deal. I use the Mac Mail application to grab the Yahoo e mails for me, as I thought that would be the easiest set up. ( Just launch Mail and every e mail is available for viewing). I suspect you are going to advise me to take the steps to turn my POP Yahoo into an IMAP Yahoo???.
    4. So I think I may have answered you question about accessing this account with an email client, right? I am using Mail.
    5. Thanks for the thought on the incoming e mail server. Good to know.
    6. My Mac account settings for removing messages from the server when downloaded by the email client ( Mail?) are: (1) for the Yahoo - I looked under Accounts/Advanced. And, if that is the right place, hopefully, I have set it to remove copy from server after retrieving a message after 1 month. ( just being careful). (2) I do not see choices for my .mac IMAP account, except under Trash, and for that I have also chosen 1 month before permanently removing.
    How'd I do?? I want to answer your questions as specifically and succinctly as possible. Your assistance is much appreciated.

  • Documents to Go Desktop App will not sync with iPhone and iPad

    This used to work perfectly and now, it just stopped being able to sync.  The desktop shows that my devices are disconnected?  I've uninstalled and reinstalled and the desktop app won't recognize any devices.  Any ideas??  I'm using Windows 7 PC and syncing to iPhone 4 and iPad.  hanks.

    This user tip might help you understand how accounts work with Address Book.
    First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.

  • Album Art will not sync onto iphone 3GS

    Songs I have downloaded since the 3.0 upgrade will not sync the album art onto my iphone 3GS. The art work is all in itunes, but on my phone it is just a black square. Help!

    I have the same problem. Artwork is correct in iTunes, but does not sync with iPhone, even after deletion and re-sync. I have albums that did not originally have artwork that were transferred to the iPhone (3GS) without artwork. I then downloaded the artwork in iTunes, deleted the original files off the iPhone, and re-transferred the files (which now have artwork). The artwork did not transfer over to the iPhone. Basically, I'm stuck with the amount of artwork I had when I synced the iPhone for the very first time.
